I also find the logic behind reminders really puzzling with reminder times being set that seem to bear no relationship to the time of the task itself.
I would favour a facility where you can enter a reminder period (5 mins before, 1 hour before, 1 day before) rather than an absolute time. Or the option to specify either a period or an absolute time with the other one automatically adjusting.

Yeah, repeating alerts is just for whether you want it to keep bugging you until you pay attention or not. I think reminders always change with the task. I've had some where I change the dates and the reminder somehow gets changed *past* the due-date, which I think is clearly a bug, though I'm not sure what the best process to figure out a new time is. But usually, I want the reminder to recur with the task. Can you give us an example of a task that recurs where the reminder shouldn't also recur? Recurring tasks are designed to do the same task multiple times. For example, take medicine every day. I have a "take medicine" task today, and (though they aren't created yet), a new one for tomorrow, the next day, etc. I'm curious why you would you want a reminder on one day's, but not the others, on a frequent basis.

Yet, I found that my reminders were "moving around", for lack of a better word. I'd set a date, and sometime later it would be another date. Either because it changed if and when I changed the due date, or else it changed when I recurred the task (all of my tasks are recurring). How do I set a single reminder date which doesn't move? thanks in advance. Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MyLifeOrganized" group.
